For the plugin I would add an API to let the developer define user settings. For example look at what Xtra (https://github.com/crackededed/Xtra) offers for twitch. The most important is to be able to set a proxy to retrieve the feed in countries without ads and even bypass country geo-locks for content. Now I would probably not ship this in the official plugin, but my point is that you need to be able to expose those settings in the plugin.

Just install the newest version of xtra here. I think the newer version just disables adblocking since ttv.lol isnt working atm.

You could try installing Material files in both profiles. It's also on fdroid. Set up the ftp server, choose what folders you want to share, in one profile and then connect to it in the other profile.

I use Filezilla and Material Files to transfer large / multiple files via ftp. Otherwise Neardrop works great for quick file sharing.

I think you'd like Amaze and Material Files. They both don't have an option for webdav though.
